You know why that is?

It's because the VAT is included.

VAT is a cruel mistress.

If it's priced WAY too high it's obviously a rare collector's item and worth every cent. Always. Everytime. Gauranteed.

Actually, I have to say I think this is a mind trick...

When the price goes back down to £379 or so, it's going to look like a bargain..... I'll put a second wall hanger up ready
